PSA you need a 750w power supply if you are going to upgrade to the monster that is the RTX 3080 per nVidia. Also the RTX require not1, not 2, but 3 4pin power cords (adapter included since afaik no PS on the market currently has a 12 pin connector ) A great video about the RTX 3000 series boards ( Play) After doing some research, I decided to go with an 850 that was highly rated and had a ton of reviews, and traded a little bit of fan noise for 50 to 80 dollars in savings. www.newegg.com/seasonic-focus-plus-850-gold-ssr-850fx-850w/p/N82E16817151188?Item=N82E16817151188Maybe after I do the upgrade to the 3080 ashes and Erbes will let me join in on their reindeer games (even though I suck at non rtgs games) |

Any suggestions on how to do that he has never done this. watch videos. building a machine is pretty straight forward, but like everything, the more you've worked on PCs the more "tricks" you know / and or do without thinking. I can build a machine in my sleep, but if I was to write a step by step, I'd skip like 30-50 of the steps |

Yeah i was more so asking about specific parts lol what to buy and all that depends on price point if I was gonna build another dream rig I'd fork out about 2.4K and have the latest i9 10900k processor (860.00) with 64GB ram. prol same MB I currently have (300), and an RTX 3080 (750) case (110) ps (160) etc |

ohhhhh def tell him to get at least 1000w power supply. all the new graphics cards coming out are going to power sucks. i plan on getting the nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card myself. everything else is kinda whatever. usually each gaming pc comes with two hard drives. make sure one is at least 1 TB to store games. get as much RAM as computer will hold lol. he does not need a water cooling system - do not fall for the cool look! a regular fan is fine.

If that is the case wait on the PS too as you will still need the adapter |

I payed an extra 150 for my i9 cause I waited and then I wasn't willing to wait for the market to stabilize (which it didn't for 6-9 months) |
